Responding
The problem is that no AAA studio has properly touched the police genre for the last five years. Only game I can think of is LA Noire and that was in development before Rockstar took control. Battlefield Hardline was pretty much a reskinned Battlefield 3 with a police aesthetic. Unless Rockstar, CD Projekt Red, or even Sierra Games (unlikely) somehow plan to create a police simulator or SWAT game, mods and the indie scene are all we have right now. Going a bit off-topic, I am actually excited for Police Simulator 18, and I believe it will be released by the end of 2018. Astragon has delayed the release in order to let Bigmoon Studios implement community feedback and fix bugs. Bigmoon is also not that no-name since they developed Dakar 18 (a racing game recreation of the Dakar Rally published by Deep Silver). Astragon's recent releases (Bus Simulator 18, for example) also have more positive ratings than negative ones on Steam. Jeff Favignano and Bay Are Buggs enjoyed Bus Simulator 18 as well.

O Enforcer did not have one dev. Odin Game Studio was made up of multiple people before it closed down. Also, the Excalibur Games that published Flashing Lights has different people (those different people published Jalopy, a popular car game) from the one that published Enforcer. Why should we limit police game development to mods and AAA studios? Many indie studios have published phenomenal games such as SCUM. Look at This Is The Police 2; that game vastly improved the mechanics the original had and added new gameplay elements . So what if some indie studios develop crap police games and vaporware? The freedom of indie development allows many gems to shine. With indie development, there will always be a diamond in the rough.

There is this police game in development called Responding. It is being created by a former EmergeNYC developer under the name of Visionary Studios. It first started off as a Unity project, but it is now being developed on the UE4 engine. Last thing, Visionary Studios had some drama with Wingman Games more than a year ago. Thoughts?

Police Use Taser on Woman, 87, Who Family Says Was Cutting Dandelions
Google Translate is improving, but it's still wonky. I don't know how far the club was from the home since I don't live in Chatsworth, so maybe the family couldn't hear the commotion. Sorry for being a Monday morning quarterback, but pepper spray could've been used in this situation. It's far less deadly than a taser.

Police Use Taser on Woman, 87, Who Family Says Was Cutting Dandelions
On August 10, in the town of Chatsworth, Murray County, Georgia, an employee of the local Boys and Girls club called 911 on 87-year old Martha Al-Bishara after observing her walking outside of the building with a knife and bag. She would not leave the property and three officers (one of whom was the chief) showed up. She did not obey commands to drop the knife due to her lack of English, and the chief even demonstrated the command by taking out his own pocket knife and dropping it. Bishara was then tased and arrested; she was released from jail two hours later. Her family claims that she was just going out to cut dandelions near her home.

CheepCallouts
For the vandalism callout, you should have the cars empty instead of occupied. It would make more sense because people usually aren’t in their cars after they parked. Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XE5-xi2zwo&t=10m38s

Keep the Peace : an in-depth law enforcement strategy game

Which, if any, of Darkmyre's mods do you guys consider essential?
No callout packs on this site have the welfare check callout, and there aren't any K9 mods that allow the detection of explosives. You also can't really search the bed of a pickup truck with Police Search.

California Deadly Force Bill
To me, I don't know what the result of this bill will be until it passes. To contribute my two cents that I just found on the armchair, I do believe that regular officers should carry beanbag shotgun ammunition in their vehicles; how this works is that the first shotgun round would be the beanbag and the rest would be the normal lethal rounds.

Ready or Not (SWAT Game)
Sorry for necroing this thread, but I found some more in-game footage and some pictures. Also, while the release date has not been confirmed, VOID Interactive set a goal for Ready Or Not to be pre-ordered in June or July and a release on Steam in November Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKiQdNSpl9I http://voidinteractive.net http://voidinteractive.net/ready-not-devblog-03/ https://www.instagram.com/void_interactive/?hl=en https://nofrag.com/2018/02/22/109616/ (French website) https://www.reddit.com/r/ReadyOrNotGame/ (Good source to keep up with development outside of the official website and YouTube videos)

[REL | WIP] LSPDFR Computer+
Is there going to be a law enforcement designation on certain peds when you search them up in Computer+ in the next update? In the "Person with a Firearm" callout of Code 3 Callouts, some suspects will say that they are off-duty or undercover law enforcement officers. While this designation shows up on the default LSPDFR records check and PoliceSmartRadio, it does not show up on Computer+. Example: (4:00-4:35)

California Deadly Force Bill
The police were looking for a suspect who was breaking into car windows and running into backyards. A helicopter from the Sheriff's Department was already tracking the suspect, the pilots radioing the officers that he shattered a window with a toolbar, ran to Clark's grandmother's front yard, and then looked into an adjacent car. They then went to the front yard where Clark fled as he was spotted. Police believed that he was the suspect. There was a short chase into the backyard and the officers ordered him to show his hands while yelling something about a gun in Clark's hands. Finally, the officers fired 20 shots, hitting Clark 8 times. Six were in the back, two were in the front. The object that the officers thought was a gun was an iPhone.

California Deadly Force Bill
In response to the April 3rd, 2018 shooting of Stephon Clark in Sacramento, California lawmakers are proposing a bill that will create new standards for police use of deadly force. Under this proposed law, a police shooting is only justified if the force used was "necessary force" (meaning that de-escalation techniques either failed or are impractical). If an officer's use of force does not follow this standard, they will be disciplined, fired, or even charged with a crime. Thoughts?

The police can not stumble in GTA V, but the hardcore wounded animation should be the player gripping their stomach with one hand and holding a sidearm in the other while slowly moving.

Police VR
I was watching a FirstThirtyMinutes video when a commenter suggested him to check out a VR police game called "Police Enforcement VR : 1-King-27". From the Steam gameplay trailer, it looks like it has potential. Plus, police simulators and VR create a fitting combination. It is set to be released April 30 on Early Access. Thoughts?
